Enterprise cybersecurity must build its foundation on identity and access management (IAM). In fact, experts contend that identity looks poised to subsume the entirety of business cybersecurity within the next few years. Also, IAM already constitutes the digital perimeter through authentication capabilities.

However, selecting the best identity management company to work with can prove a daunting task; after all, your business needs to weigh capabilities including Single Sign-On (SSO), multifactor authentication (MFA), and session monitoring. Additionally, your IT security team needs to weigh its own use case and compare it to different solution offerings.

The editors at Solutions Review continually research the most prominent and influential identity management vendors to assist buyers in searching for the tools befitting their organization’s needs. Choosing the right vendor and solution can be complicated; it requires constant market research and often comes down to more than just the solution and its technical capabilities.
